As one of the 20 companies in Phase 2 of AI4Cities, Symvio is developing an AI-based solution aiming to increase district heating substation performance and reduce CO2 emissions.
The solution collects (near) real-time time-series data coming from sensors, meters, and actuators of district heating substations. It then identifies operational issues leading to energy wastes and aggregates this information for different stakeholders – citizen, cities and district heating operators – with the objective to transform this information in energy conversation measures.
Through AI4Cities, Symvio has managed to get a better understanding of the needs and expectations of cities and their various stakeholders with regards to digital energy solutions. In PHASE 2 of the project it has worked on its value proposition and has installed a pilot in the sustainable neighborhood of Vauban, in Freiburg. The company is now aiming to further develop the technical aspects and to implementing real pilots in selected AI4CITIES municipalities.
The AI4Cities project is using AI to make Europe’s cities more sustainable. Helsinki, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Greater Paris, Stavanger and Tallinn are going through a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) to find solutions to make their mobility and energy domains more carbon neutral.
